It took me so many years
To regain my sanity
To discover how foolish and childish
I had been
...

I think I know you
I think we once met
But I've never seen your face
Your look shows my inner thoughts
...

Say me well to my friend
Tell her how I'm doing
Give her this my heartfelt letter
It will remind her of our days together
...

Cheers me up whenever i'm blue
The rhythm sinks deep into me
It's all I love to hear
A piece so gentle and mild to my mind
...

A call to move to the freedom island
Separated from the beasts ridden land
A place of total serenity
Where time is unlimited
...

Good morning everybody
It's been a tough war overnight
A war without ammos
I'm happy to be here once again
...

Over and over
Singing the song of victory in tears
Whilst our dear brothers lie still and dead
The victory isn't lucid
...

...

Wandering and wondering

How I got lost
...

"Here comes the enemy"!

Screams the people
...

I know that man
Who planted the tree of happiness
But watered by pains and fears
Time becomes the greatest adversary
...

Millions of hands are stretched
But the grain is few
Only the few are fed
While the million hands are still stretched
...

I wish my heart can do the talking
Whilst my mouth refused to
I wish my heart can be a screen
That your eyes can see
...

How can it be measured?
The agony of the less treasured
Of what mass will it weigh?
When joy is mixed with pain
...

Children of the olden generation
Dancing to the rhythm of the moonlight songs
Some sing while others go round
They sip happiness and knows not what lies ahead
...

There was a time when noise is sonorous
When joy is lifted to the air
And the sand on the the ground jumps in rejoice
For a man is filled with blessings and happiness
...

The grass grows from grey to green
So says the old man with a grin
Telling stories to little children without a sin
All seated in different rows
...

Strict and concrete
With an abstract ideology
Seeing children laugh and play
Makes her go naught
...

It took me so many years
To regain my sanity
To discover my folly
I've toyed with life at my prime
...

Quiet is my every day sound
No music and no noise
I see people moving their body to dance
And I wonder why they are doing so
...
